This is incredible thank you
I just got my first MPC ever. The MPC X and not knowing what I was getting into, decided to watch this video. Thank you so much for making the learning experience alot faster and less stressing. Can focus on having fun with this thing. Again, thank you.
Glad I could help!
Sir, you teach so well I think you must have a degree in it. Finally, someone who know how to teach without wasting time. I have been using MPCs since the MPC 60 came out! Yup, I’m old, 60 in fact. If you’re just learning the MPC workflow, this is your instructor right here. Kudos!
Thank you so much for this tutorial which without doubt is the best I have encountered anywhere online. purchased my MPC X around he time of its initial launch, however due to ill health to a break from making music. When I resumed using the MPC X it was like facing an alien. You certainly have presented a well narrated and competent tutorial which has revived and greatly enhanced my usage of this beast. Well done and again thank you for taking time to put this together it has certainly hit all the right spots and more. Do keep up the good work !!!!!
Great tutorial/instructional video. Extremely informative and in depth. Looking forward to part 2 which I hope goes into the same detail for sampling (bpm detect, warping, time stretch,etc)
i have to give you props mate BIG UP YOURSELF i have had a few mpcs since 1989 your tutorials are by far the BEST people forget how easy it is to forget stuff espically if you are useing a lot of tec daily and want to constanly improve and grow in music this maschine is perrfect the boom awesome creative flexible power
Thanks for the props and glad we were able to help.
I’m late to this tutorial concerning the MPC X…you did a wonderful job in explaining many of the capabilities of this “beast of an instrument”:)! Thank you!
This is what you call a real tutorial . FOR REAL!
Just bought one.. Picking it up in a few days.. Feeling anxious
You're going to love it
Just be patient with, hope you have your creative hat on 😂
Ditto.
I've been at it for about 3 weeks, there's a lot there, but take it one goal at a time. I love how much I've learned, and how much more there is!
Very thorough! Thank you, you are appreciated
Good Looking Sample King
Raleigh Simmons coached by Fred Tex Winter. I so appreciate your video. I Payed a Sample THIEF $200 and it was worth it except when I saw your video it changed everything. I KICKED his soft ass out. Some people are only ment to meet for a week and others for a lifetime. The Lord Jesus Christ is Great to me and HE is available for ALL Including SAMPLE THIEF.
Best instructional video I’ve seen, Thanks for this video my brother 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I just ordered the MPC X today!! Would’ve got the SE but couldn’t really spare the $500 extra right now. I’m looking really forward to watching these 2 tutorials again to jump start my learning. I like how you explain things.

Thank you for this video, amazing 👏
Nobody explains it better than this man ... awesome .. thanks

This is the best tutorial for MPC X EVER. Than you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Greatful for your explanation man! Thanks a lot! 🤓👍
Mate, you really put a lot of effort into this. Great stuff, very useful. Thanks a lot!
You are a great teacher this helped me make my decision on getting this great video and I'll be dropping a sub
This is amazing. Akai should thank you.
SampleKings only just started watching so dunno if a answer in the video BUT can you mix the tracks you’ve made straight off the MPC, treating it like a deck
really detailed tutorial, thx brother very good job!
Brother…. Thank you!!!! Seems like they added everything, love the options for vintage gear that’s not always midi!!!
Thank you so very much for leaving this video online. Its informative and straight to the point and helped me to excel and learn how to use is well. So thank you. There are many tutorial videos on the MPC X but yours was the only one that helped.

Good looking out for pointing me in the right direction with your videos and sending me the hyperlink for the 3 hour video tutorial. I have so many songs in my head but because of my ignorance as well as my inability to operate my equipment properly. I just couldn't write my music. There are so many videos out there that give wrong information or difficult to understand, it made it impossible for me to write music. But I am now, so thank you.
Thank you this helps a lot. Going to be referring back often.
Ty king you simplified this help me out a lot
Glad to help and subscribe

Thanks for the support.
What an amazing set of tutorials. I just updated my MPC to the X SE and I was wondering how to get/purchase the factory sounds expansion pack
I'm so pissed i bought the Mpc Live. I really want this one. You really convinced me plus i like the old 2500 look and feel of things.
i just got a boom box for my LIVE, LOTS BETTER !
Mines just turned up, had a se on order but was told it wasn't available til January,so got this on ebay brand new £1100 Holy moly I've just turned it off after about 8hrs.
My head hurts its about 5.30am but my mind is blown.
Had a Roland MV8800 before this,how times have changed ❤😂😂

Great video my brother. Hey had anyone ever told you that you sound like the big brother in the club with the lisp on that movie 'Romeo Must Die'? The one that says "Since you look like such a jovial individual..."
Thanks!
Did you add all those expansion packs or did they come loaded from the factory ?
Do these tutorial videos cover everything up to the latest update? Thanks
Having spent time watching your very informative video prior to buying my MPC X, my mind just blank as soon as I switched on the unit. I guess there's nothing like hands on experience. Just wanted to know if it's possible to navigate back to the demo screen without switching the MPC X off and on?
Thanks again for taking the time to put this together, been a great help so far.
No
Can’t you just press file at the top, then ‘new’? It takes me back to my initial demo screen.
Great Video!!. I know this was made two years ago (I still want this MPC) why were people complaining about the 2 Gig (I assume processing memory) and the 16 gig's internal storage if you can use an 64 gig SD card for external storage...were they whining for the sake of whining?.
Thanks glad it was helpful.
Can you download samples etc. onto a flash drive and put onto the mpc?
Some suggestions for future videos: You definetely could improve the lighting in your videos. Especially with black equipment like the X sometimes things are hard to see/ready. And the fan noise (?) in the background is distracting.
@@SampleKingsVideos Aight! Gottcha. THX for the Info.
Great video. What is the screen in the upper right corner? Is it your computer view?
Yes, I used it for a reference.
Thanks for doing this video is there a way to lock the Qlink knobs to volume for each track so no matter what screen I am viewing I can always control volume for the tracks? I have the one now and might upgrade to the x if I could have more top level hands on control of volume and muting with the extra q link knobs,
No, never been able to do that.
Thank you
Glad it helped
I appreciate the video and the time you spent on it. I had a quick question, I noticed you kept layering sounds on to track 1. Does the X automatically put each sound on a separate track?
@@SampleKingsVideos I’ll take a download! Do you explain how to flatten and explode the tracks? Send me your Venmo
@@SampleKingsVideos when I tried to purchase this message kept popping up about a membership for $60? Am I doing something wrong?
@@SampleKingsVideos ok bet 👍🏽
Just purchased my MPCX. First MPC. I have a Splice account already with about 1200 samples. I’ve logged in Splice through my MPC but it was before I bought an SD card. Does anyone know how I can pull all the samples off the MPCX and transfer them to the SD card?
I'm a beginner. This ain't the easiest guide to follow tbh, but it does seem pretty comprehensive. I appreciate the selfless effort put in though ;-)
We took 1 and 2 and made 1 video now
We took 1 and 2 and made 1 video now .
@@SampleKingsVideos That's great! I'll go check that out. Thanks man ;-)
Is this mainly intended for hiphop producers or would it shine in an electronic music studio (analog modular synths)-would this be a good sequencer for a Eurorack?
Great for electronic music you can't go wrong with.
Love this video but ther are some quirks especially the sampler part only has the computer screen. Love it tho!
The 1/4” inputs on the rear are TRS, but you show TS cables. It should be mentioned these are balanced inputs.
You’re right I should of checked while doing the voiceover.
Dudes and gals, what do y’all recommend. Mpc x or mpc live (1 or 2) or akai force? I’m pretty stuck on my decision. Still taking my time and doing research. I’m still relatively new so I think the x may be too big a bite for me to chew, but I’ve learned my tr8s very well and looking for the next step. I’m mostly stuck between live and force that way I have money for other things I need.Thanks everyone.
If your new an MPC live II it comes with speakers works like all the other ones you mentioned. You should join our online lessons club and get help too.
@@SampleKingsVideos word! I’ll check that out. Thanks man. Is that info in the description? And you’re recommending the mpc live 2?
You should drop your cash app or paypal...because this is some damn good content!
Thank God you are giving. For it’s better to give than to receive. We don’t have jobs to pay right now people and the food, gas etc. is going up. Music is weak and the MPC X is GOOD. Im so glad I saved up every penny to buy one. Now God sends you. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ
@@SampleKingsVideos I do Support that which is Good. May the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob bless you and your family/relatives and friends to know Him richly. Not just in music but in Love, Mercy, righteous judgments and respect thy God and His Son The Lord Jesus Christ. What you do is interesting to me. I would love to do music with you. Soundcloud Raleigh Simmons "Hebrew I Am" You are intresting.
@@John-lv6uj I just bought the MPC X , Im doing gopsel rap just starting out, may we can link up in the future and do a track or two, May GOD bless you and your family.
@@machouseproduction8210 Hi Mac. Where are you located ?
@@John-lv6uj I'm in Kansas city Mo, what about you
With the RCA line inputs...can I input a digital radio to sample from that source? Or is it analog only...
If your radio outputs analog audio, sure you can sample from that. But you should use Input 3-4 with quarter inch for LINE levels set switch to LINE, OR use the RCA inputs with the switch set to phono. The video was not exact with its explanation there.
Do you offer zoom sessions or just these instructional videos that I’m watching now
@@SampleKingsVideos I am thinking of getting an mpcx
I have an MPC X . I’m trying to figure out what the sample rate (kHz) for the 24 bit depth. I’ve googled that it’s 44.1 kHz in standalone, but I would feel a lot more comfortable if I could view that within the MPC to confirm that that’s true. I’ve only found a window where I can change from 16 bit to 24 bit, and no kHz information is displayed. In controller mode, you’re supposed to have multiple options for the kHz settings. I can only (my preference) record audio in standalone. So I need to make sure the kHz setting for my guitar is correctly matched to the mpcx. Basically, I’m just trying to figure out how I can get into the MPC X, and see those options for myself before recording. Where can I see it displayed? I’m really only looking for confirmation that I’m doing it correctly. Any info is appreciated!
It's 44.1, go to menu, select save, in this window select audio mix down, in this window at the bottom you'll see the current settings, file format, bit depth, and sample rate.
Had no clue what that pin was thanks😅
Happy to help!
Its so weird seeing sample kings videos in 16:9 aspect ratio im used to the 4:3 lol
What is small plug in upper midi?
I still have drums that I bought from you 10 years ago
That's great hope you still use them and thanks for your support over the years.
@@SampleKingsVideos no doubt!!!

Pretty simple stuff.
Do you offer live courses? Edit, I see you might offer it at 100 a month. Do I get 5 hours of 1:1 courses each month? What time are you available to offer live sessions? I'm only available on weekends or evenings after 6pm cst.
@@SampleKingsVideos nice. Even for complete beginner? What time are you avail for courses and what timezone? I've been trying to work with other beat makers but their tutoring is at very specific times which doesn't work with my work schedule.
What is the pricing model for live courses?
Very instructional video. You cover everything and honestly, I would love it if you could cover the Renaissance
AKAI doesn't support the Renaissance the software it's clumsy when using the Renaissance.
@@tokyonow7833 That is precisely the reason some would like a instructional video
@@jonathansoko1085 It's better to just get rid of the Renaissance altogether if you ask me. I mean, I'd get the MPC One instead and never 'lose sleep' again over the Renaissance ever existing. :) Not even joking!
I've been making beats for only a couple of years and I use maschine. So I'm not sure if this a silly question but why anyone use the 16 levels feature u talk about at 22:36 ?
You can use 16 level to give life to your drums , mainly (but not only) your hihats giving more realistic sound. Also there is a Classic boom bap technique that hip hop producers use since 1990 and still do and just sound amazing. Here is a video link of the explanation of this technique. I am also using maschine for 4 years and i am about to buy MPC X. But maschine also has this feature. Hope that's helpfull
@@gedista thanks for responding. Where's the link?
@@GeoffreyB203 lol forgot it. here it is : czcams.com/video/Tmoi73SKwp0/video.html
How to connect mpc x with windows 10 computer?
This is great for understanding how to hit buttons and make selections...but 1) its a little hard to see what's happening and 2) what do those terms actually mean? So many specific functions. Rather than telling what they are can you explain each in detail? Not a put down just genuinely would like more info as you walk through. Thanks!
@@SampleKingsVideos Cool. If you could go deep into Track vs Sequence vs Program and explain all the options for creating multi-bar beats/songs that would be so cool. There are so many different ways to do it its pretty confusing. Not everyone recommends song mode and its frustrating to work out if you should just double then double then double etc.
@@SampleKingsVideos Can't wait to see it!
I’m looking to buy one but it looks complicated. Has any house djs made music with this?
